Understand your trading costs

Separate recorded charges and rebates from reported net P&L without subtracting costs twice.

1. 1Select the accounts. Choose an account or group. Compare account, exchange and setup breakdowns. Different currencies cannot be silently combined.
2. 2Read the accounting basis. Reported net P&L is the journal's source result. Stored fees are recorded values, not a guarantee that every funding or execution cost was supplied. Unknown costs are not zero.
3. 3Add actual cost evidence. Open Record supplemental cost evidence for an owned trade. Enter a Signed amount, the Accounting basis and a Source / statement reference. Use the form's charge/rebate sign convention and declare whether the cost is already included in reported net.
4. 4Inspect the updated breakdown. Save cost evidence. Check the source and coverage labels. Included costs are not subtracted again, and the reported trade result remains unchanged. A partial reconstruction is not verified gross profit.
